[ Featuring Dwele ]
Uh
Sometimes life's gonna throw curve balls your way
It's a matter if you can knock it out of the park or not
In the immortal words of Gangstarr
Everybody must meet their moment of truth
Check it out, here we go
When you can't go on (uh-huh)
Remember you're Jah blessed (its all about Jah)
And let that pain fall away (yeah)
Ooh-whoa (uh-uh)
On a rainy day
Remember you're God blessed (come on)
Watch them clouds fall the way (uh)
Ooh-whoa
Now I'm feeling all was lost, how will I make it now?
Jarobi called said Christmas day he'd be exchanging vows
That made my day, 'cause shorty was truly the one
But trust me fam, Deisha Nicole is gonna kill me, son
With that I took my mom's advice, she kept my at my word
Moved to the West, set wedding day for April 23rd
Jump the broom, feeling good, love kept the boy alive
Honeymoon in Tobago, did-did some shows with Tribe
Hopin' to do a group album but that went nowhere fast
And to make matters worse, my boy J. Dilla passed
Feelin' bad 'cause me and Dilla played phone tag
For at least two years and now he's gone, damn
Wish I could've reached out to simply wish him well
It hurts to know that at the same time we would go through hell
I miss you fam, and that's not just for your sound
What up, Ma Dukes? Malik is here to hold you down
When you can't go on
Remember you're Jah blessed (uh-huh)
And let that pain fall away (remember that)
Ooh-whoa (He'll show you the way)
On a rainy day
Remember you're God blessed (yeah)
Watch them clouds fall the way (come on)
Ooh-whoa
On tour with Tribe, once again, great to be with the crew
Step-son in his third year of playin' AAU
Wish I could lend my B-ball IQ to his growing game
Same goes for my bro who started 9th grade (oh, yeah)
Feels good hittin' the stage, with all our beats and rhymes
Chemistry on point, still we quest to shine
For me it's all therapeutic, illness not on my mind
Phife just go all out like it's the last time
From Thanksgiving '06, to say the end of May
Your boy was so damn sick, felt like my last days
But the God I serve ain't see it that way
Guess was I'm sayin' is my whole family had prayed
(Jah presents to you, that's how I feel)
Hospital bed, where I laid, 'bout a two week stay
Started feelin', ooh, after memorial day
End of 07, hip hop honored Tribe, well, ain't that great?
Media said, "Phife on crack" due to losing weight
I laughed it off, 'cause one thing Phifey has is pride
I never let them see me sweat, I kept it all inside
2008, Tribe back on the road again
Well wishes from enemies as well as friends
See by this time, most knew what was going on
Some gave me dap, said, "Phife Diggy stand strong"
Along with that you know what else bound to come along
These punk-ass haters, wishing that Malik was gone
But to God be the glory, he kept my sanity
Gave me a wifey who come what may, was there for me
I'm speaking morally, physically, spiritually
Always loving me for me, unconditionally
Not just annually or strictly anniversaries
Never can to be put in words what you had done for me
Put my emotions on my sleeve and you would comfort me
Malik was ill and you and mom would hold that jack for me
Four years on the list, and word, you donate the kidney?
That ain't nothing but Jah Jah blessing me
That ain't nothing but Jah Jah blessing me
Hey, that ain't nothing but Jah Jah blessing me, come on
All I need in this life is family, friends (ooh)
It's God send from above, ohh
Love and life (life), life and energy
Jah still blessing me, take me out my misery
It's hard to be the best you when love ain't around
Blessings from Jah, send my love from down
Never can we stop, with that feel good sound
I never knew a love, like this God send, hey
It's hard to be the best you when love not around
Blessings from Jah, send your love down, yeah
No, we can't stop, with that feel good sound, yeah
I never knew a love like this, whoa whoa
Oh no, hey, yeah
